Double dose of the Chichester Voices for Christmas!

Chichester Voices are offering two carol concerts, one in Selsey and one in Pagham.

Spokesman David Russell said: “This year’s carol concert promises to be a wonderful evening of festive music, including audience participation, performed by the renowned local chamber choir Chichester Voices. The concert will be conducted by Andrew Naylor and will feature some much-loved works including I Saw Three Ships, The Twelve Days of Christmas and Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Also, there will be the world premiere of Laetabundus, a sequence for Christmas by local composer and choir member Michael Walsh.

“Audiences will have two chances to hear the concert, firstly at the RNLI Station, Kingsway, Selsey, PO20 0DL on Saturday, December 15 at 7.30pm. Richard Allum will be at the keyboard and the choir is raising money for Selsey Lifeboats. Then, on Thursday, December 20, again at 7.30pm, the choir will be at their usual home of St Thomas a Becket’s Church, Pagham, PO21 4NU, raising money for Rotary Charities.”
